A man's reach

When a tournament approaches the money bubble, every remaining player must decide if they want to play like a lion or play like a lamb. Lions are going for the money up top; lambs are just going for a min cash.

This is an excerpt from my July 20, 2020 post. Last night, I was going for the money up top. It didn't work out, but, as Robert Browning wrote:

Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp,
Or what's a heaven for?
